I’ve been collecting those retro-vintagey fabrics and now my stash is seriously depleted. But I’m okay with that since they’re far better appreciated in a couple of finished quilts than in closet in my basement. The solid greens are Kona’s: Palm (lighter) and Holly.

I also used the last of my Holiday Happy fabric for the back. Perfect.

The perfect thing for my big blank wall during the Christmas season. And I’m well-pleased that I finished it in time for the actual holiday. It even goes well with my throw pillows from Christmases past. (Snowflake here, Circles here, and red and white pillows here.)

And since we’re talking retro-Christmas, Merry Christmas from me (and my little sister) ca. 1978. I’m pretty certain my mom made those gingham dresses. I could have totally used some of that green gingham in this quilt!

I love the quilt. I think I might attempt it for next year as a pillow top.<br />After the busy holidays, take a look at my new blog. I used your furniture make-over as my inspiration for a project.<br />Meggie

Amy, I REALLY, REALLY like this quilt! And I will be a follower/ wanna-be sometime this next year because I would like to make one with my leftover Christmas fabrics, too!<br />Thank you for the inspiration, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I was excited when I saw the preview. This is awesome. You don&#39;t see that depression green a ton in new stuff and it is awesome here. I like the borders too and I am not a border kinda girl. I love the different shades of green…that is actually the best part!

What a beautiful quilt, perfect on that wall.<br />Love the photo, if you follow the youtube link on my blog post you can see/hear a little girl in full voice at her nativity, it is brilliant.<br />Have a very Happy Christmas.<br />Carol xx

Really nice! I have a huge blank wall space that is screaming for some quilty things to look at. Hopefully in the coming year I&#39;ll be able to make a few different ones to put up there.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and yours. I hope it is truly magical.
